Ed Broadbent all over again. "We need to do more work on that, and that, and that. Oh yeah, and that too" McGuinty McShminty. Just what the hell HAVE you been doin' for four years anyway? “Working families, working families, working families”. Ed Broadbent all over again.

Hampton was the clear loser in my eyes, as he seemed shaky and distracted when the camera was on him. Also, the debate seemed to be purely between McGuinty and Tory, with Hampton trying to get his points in when he could. If I ever was thinking of voting NDP, I'm definitely not now. Tory seemed confident and passionate, but personally I hated the allegorical examples he raised. You can prove anything allegorically. McGuinty's stats were much more persuasive for me, but he seemed unsure debating Tory. Body language counts for a lot, and he was 'staring at his shoes' to quote this morning's Metro. Personally, I'm undecided between 2 parties, and thanks to short-sighted corporate politics, one of them wasn't even invited to the debate. I have to say I was underwhelmed by all 3 leaders.

If they use Harris, people will think "what does a guy who became premier 12 years ago have to do with this"? By using the term “conservatives” they can paint Tory as part of the same old gang.

A premier that did what he said he would...and won back to back majorities. Mr. McGuinty pales by comparison. Why would they mention Mike?
